I'm new to this forum. I found it's members are very informative and helpful. For this reason I make my mind to post my query here. I'm holding 2 passports. Both of them from my motherland. One is before married with my Father's name as last name which I submitted for stamping immigration visa. As in all of my educational and professional certificate and all I used my Father's name as last name but after marriage I made another passport with my husband's name as last name and this passport contains 5 years multiple entry USA tourist visa. Now my query is Can I go to New York from Toronto with another passport ? In a nut shell can I use that post marriage passport if I intend to visit USA from Canada? Can anyone enlighten me about this matter please?

As I understand, we aren't supposed to 'hold' 2 valid pps of the same country [neither from multiple countries - unless there's a 'dual citizenship' case]. It amounts to immigration fraud. When we obtain another pp -- it makes the previous one 'invalid' in the eyes of the law [notwithstanding the fact whether the older one was 'cancelled', 'invalidated' or 'obliterated']. If there was an ommission by the holder or the pp office [whether 'wilful' or otherwise] - the previous pp is supposed to be 'destroyed'.

As far as I know, people with Canadian PR do not need visa or passport to enter USA, you can just show your Cnadaian ID or PR card at the port of entry to US. Please check with others.

No. PRs do need visa to enter the US.

If I take visa again from Canada they will know that this person already has visa on different last name. What will I do then? Please enlighten me Qorax

Yes, u cannot do that... it'd create protential trouble.
IMHO, your submission of the older pp for the PRV is also troubling. If it were me, I'd have sent the new one for the stamping.

oh ok. just so I know, is it then only the other way round -I mean US PRs dont need visa to enter Canada, just ID will suffice? coz my cousin has US Green card and he could enter Canada to visit without a Canadian tourist visa last year.
